[RFC PATCH v3 2/3] x86/crash: Add pmem region into PT_LOADs of vmcore

[Li Zhijian]

Only the region described by PT_LOADs of /proc/vmcore are dumpable/readble
by dumping applications. Previously, on x86/x86_64 only system ram resources
will be injected into PT_LOADs.
So in order to make the entire pmem resource is dumpable/readable, we need
to add pmem region into the PT_LOADs of /proc/vmcore.

Here we introduce a new API walk_pmem_res() to sort out the pmem region. Note
that, unlike other walk_xxx_res() API in resource.c, we walk through
pmem resources without IORESOUCE_BUSY flag.

This is kexec_file_load() specific, for kexec_load(), kexec-tools will have a
similar change.
